Chapter 482 The only solution is the way out
The fat man pointed to the mud on the grass and said, "This shows that this was indeed a tomb, and this is a secret room within the tomb.
"After we obtained the treasure in the secret room, we should have left immediately."
"But we have no way to get out now."
"Unless, dig this place up!"
Everyone was silent.
No one wants to endure the pain of digging up a grave; after all, it is too cruel.
"Since the remains of the tomb owner are buried here, the tomb must have some mechanism or formation, otherwise the tomb would not be set up here!"
The fat man said affirmatively, then looked at Ye Bai, asking for his opinion: "Mr. Ye, what do you think of this method?"
"Ok!"
Ye Bai agreed with the fat man's proposal. This method was the only feasible solution so far.
So, a group of people divided the work and prepared to dig the ground to find the mechanism according to the fat man's instructions.
Fatty, Xinyue and Shouhou were responsible for digging the pit, while Yang Mi and Xinyu were responsible for carrying sand and gravel.
Ye Bai and Xin Xin are in charge of the exploration agency.
A group of boys worked for a long time and finally dug out a coffin lid.
"This...this coffin lid is newly closed, and there are no gaps at all."
The skinny monkey said, expressing his confusion.
The coffin lid was made of wood, three centimeters thick, and looked as if it had been turned over frequently.
"I'll try!"
Xinyu said, she bent down and lifted the coffin lid with force, and found it was empty inside.
"No?"
Xinyu frowned, feeling a little depressed.
Ye Bai stood aside without saying a word, his eyes fixed on the center of the coffin.
"Mr. Ye, what's wrong with you?"
The fat man came over and asked curiously.
"Nothing, I just feel like this coffin is not simple."
After Ye Bai finished speaking, he slapped his palm towards the center of the coffin. However, the coffin did not move at all, but instead repelled his palm.
"Let's continue!"
Ye Bai said this and punched the coffin again.
He hit the coffin more than ten times in a row, but it remained intact.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a crack appeared at the bottom of the coffin, and then a crack appeared at the top of the coffin.
The sounds of shattering came one after another, and the coffin lids were constantly pried open.
Corpses emerged from the coffins one after another.
These bones are of different sizes, probably only the size of a baby's fist, and are completely white, like mutton-fat jade.
But upon closer inspection, these corpses actually had a pair of scarlet eyes, as if they had consciousness, staring at them coldly, which made people feel uneasy.
"What the hell are these?!"
Yang Mi exclaimed, she was scared.
"These should be zombies!"
Ye Bai said with narrowed eyes.
"Zombies?"
Everyone's face was filled with horror. In an instant, the originally peaceful and harmonious scene was completely overturned.
"Roar!"
Just as everyone was panicking, suddenly, a zombie roared to the sky and rushed towards them.
Ye Bai immediately drew his sword and slashed at the charging zombie.
The zombie was split into two pieces by a sword and fell to the ground.
Ye Bai's attack was extremely fierce, and he killed the zombie with one move.
"So easy?"
Yang Mi said in great surprise.
"Don't just stand there, get to work!"
Ye Bai urged, then walked towards a coffin.
The coffin is eight meters high and five or six meters wide. The lid of the coffin is covered with rust, as if it has not been used for a long time.
Ye Bai raised his legs and kicked hard on the coffin lid.
boom--!
The coffin lid was kicked off.
"Haha, Mr. Ye is so awesome!"
Yang Mi said excitedly.
"what?"
Suddenly, Ye Bai cried out in surprise.
He found a girl lying under the coffin.
The girl has fair skin and a delicate face, and is as cute as a porcelain doll.
"Look there!"
At this moment, Yang Mi pointed at another coffin and shouted.
The others turned their heads to look and then gasped.
On the other side, there were rows of coffins.
There was a portrait on top of each coffin, and it was the girl just now!
"What's going on? Could it be that... these coffins are all the coffins of dead girls?"
The fat man said tremblingly.
"There's no doubt about it. These coffins are definitely burial objects."
Ye Bai nodded and said, "Anyway, we are in trouble now!"
"The patterns on these coffins are exactly the same as those on the epitaphs we saw before!"
Yang Mi pointed to the pattern above the coffin and said, "Have you noticed that these patterns are the same as those on the mural, and they are all patterns of women.
What do these patterns represent?"
“It should be the tomb owner’s mausoleum.
However, I am more inclined to believe that it is a sacrificial tomb. After all, it would take at least hundreds of years to build such a huge mausoleum.
But, after so many years, where did the tomb owner go?"
The fat man sighed and said that the world was becoming more and more weird, filling his mind with all kinds of questions.
"Open it and take a look first!"
As Yang Mi spoke, she took out a dagger, cut open the coffin lid, and then opened the coffin.
Click!
When the coffin lids were all opened, everyone gasped in unison.
There were seven dry skeletons lying inside the coffin!
The bone fibers of these seven skeletons were very well preserved. Although they had been dead for a long time, they still emitted a strong smell of decay.
And in the chest of each of the seven skeletons, there was an arrow stuck.
"It seems this bow killed them."
Ye Bai sighed.
At this time, he saw that in the middle of the dry bones, there was actually a stone tablet with a poem written on it:
“Spring goes and autumn comes, the world changes;
Day after day, year after year, it repeats itself forever..."
"This poem is really interesting, but why do I feel that these poems are a sacrificial poem?"
Yang Mi muttered.
“You are right, this is a sacrificial poem.
It seems that this tomb is not simple. It not only buries historians, but also researchers of ancient culture.
I'm afraid these people's bodies were also eaten by these zombies."
The fat man sighed.
"Let's go quickly and don't waste time."
The thin man pushed Yang Mi and said, "It will be terrible if we encounter zombies again."
Yang Mi glared at the thin man and cursed, "You filthy rascal, I don't want to go crazy with you!
Go play by yourself!"
"Oh my, this won't work!"
The fat man stopped Yang Mi and said jokingly, "You want to know where the tomb owner is, right? Let's go find him."
"real or fake?"
Yang Mi asked suspiciously, "Are they trying to trick us into committing suicide?"
"Tsk, am I the kind of person who is afraid of death?"
"Okay, I don't believe you!"
Yang Mi curled her lips and ignored him.
"Mr. Ye, what should we do next?"
The fat man turned around and asked, staring at Ye Bai with burning eyes.
Ye Bai shrugged and said calmly, "Keep going."
"What?"
"keep going!"
"why?"
"Because you have already walked down a dead end, now we only have this last way to survive."
Ye Bai said: "What we have to do now is to open these coffins!"
"We...really have to open them?"
Yang Mi swallowed and asked with fear on her face.
Ye Bai glanced at her and said, "Since I promised to help you solve this puzzle, I naturally cannot break my promise."
